I'm going to pull my hair out!!

My son turned 3yrs old on June 6th.Â He has absolutely no interest in using the toilet or potty chair.Â He doesn't care if he's wet or poopy.Â Won't tell you if he is and will even tell you he's not if you ask.Â He is my 4th child and none of my others took this long.Â My other boys didn't train until they turned 3, but they had it down a week after their birthdays.Â If anyone has any kind of suggestions as to how to get him to go, I would greatly appreciate it!!

UGH William was 3 on the 16th and the exact same way. I offered the potty but didn't push it. He knows how to use the big potty, and has a potty chair in the living room. I would take his diaper off and set him on his potty chair while he watched cartoons. When he finally peed in it I would make a BIG deal out of it. First he would get hugs and cheers, then a treat, then we called Dad at work who made a big deal, then we called g-ma, g-pa, aunts and uncles. They all made a big deal about it. He responded well to it so everytime he went we did the same routine.

One day he took off his diaper in the morning and didn't want it back on, the only treat I had was cookies, and decided that wasn't a good treat all day. I went and bought some stickers, temp. tattoos, some rubber bugs, then went down the birthday party isle and bought a bag of bubbles and bubble wands ( there were 10 in the bag with little things of bubbles) and a bag of skittles and M&M's. I put 5 candies in little envelopes and through it all in a bag. If he peed he got to pick 1 item and poop 2 items. We still called everybody also. In a week he was accident free, and no longer asking for treats. It's been 3 weeks and no accidents. Don't push he will do it! Good luck
